PS3 Down Until Tomorrow.

I'm trying to decide what I want to blog about today. I'm having a hard time deciding. I would like to blog about the earthquake in Chile but I'm in dismay with the fact that I cant play my PS3 now due to a bug! They said that it would take up to 24 hours to fix it, and not to play it until the problem has been fixed. This is what Sony has to say about it.

We believe we have identified that this problem is being caused by a bug in the
clock functionality incorporated in the system.

Errors include:
* The date of the PS3 system may be re-set to Jan 1, 2000.
* When the user tries to sign-in to the PlayStation Network, the following message appears on the screen; "An error has occurred. You have been signed out of PlayStation Network (8001050F)".
* When the user tries to launch a game, the following error message appears on the screen and the trophy data may disappear; "Failed to install trophies. Please exit your game."
* When the user tries to set the time and date of the system via the Internet, the following message appears on the screen; "The current date and time could not be obtained. (8001050F)"
* Users are not able to playback certain rental video downloaded from the PlayStation Store before the expiration date.

We hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, if you have a model other than the new slim PS3, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.

As mentioned above, Please be advised that the new slim PS3 is not affected with this error. We are doing our best to resolve the issue and do apologise for any inconvenience caused.

As for you gamers, I feel sorry for you. Although I'm not exactly enthused about this problem either. As for the incident with the earthquake my heart goes out for them and there families. This is horrible thing. This morning the death toll was up to more than 700 people dead, the search is still going. Chile's death toll could eventually rise above 1,000. But right now, aside from the rescue process, the biggest issue would be getting food, water and medical aid to the hardest hit zones. I know that I will do my part to help out! I hope you will too! Until then...
